Removing your Wallet

Migrate from an old install of macos_burst

If you installed a previous version of the Burst wallet using this software, you can use this software to update to the latest version. To do so, follow these steps.

  1. Download the .zip file for this repo.

  2. Extract the contents.

  3. Open up a terminal window in the macos_burst-master directory.

  4. Find the path of your previous install. You can try running one of these commands to find the path if you don't know it:

    1.3.6cg - mdfind burstcoin-1.3.6cg | head -n 1 | cd ../../ | pwd

    2.0.0 or above - find ~ -wholename */burstcoin/conf/* -print -quit | head -n 1 | cd ../../ | pwd

  5. Run the following command to upgrade to the new wallet version $ ./macos_burst_install.sh --upgrade {path from step 4}

🙌 Thanks

I'd like to thank the folks who wrote the underlying software used here.

🎉 Burst XBundle for macOS is coming soon!

I haven't had time to update this project with simple scripts for plotting/mining because I've been spending all my time working on a new bundled application which will allow you to install and run the Burst wallet along with plotting and mining all through a simple, clean user interface.
